Have to back Haye to win first, Chisora's got a good chin so won't be stopped easily but Haye should get a TKO win in the later rounds. Coverage starts at 7pm on BoxNation (and various streams)

David Haye weighed in at 210 pounds at the weigh in on Thursday while Dereck Chisora was at 247 pounds. Also remember that the fight will last for 10 rounds rather than the normal 12, heard that Haye wanted this in the contract from the start.

What's the differences between these two divisions?

What two? The different control boards?

Good to see David Price doing some punditry there, looks like he will get picked up by BoxNation then after his (promoters) deal with Sky Sports expired.

oh, yeah. Haye is a heavyweight, Khan is currently about 60-70 pounds lighter at light welterweight. Khan is looking to move up weights in the future though to possibly fight Floyd Mayweather at welterweight.

This is a great breakdown of the weight categories and the current champions:

Really didn't see that one coming. Could tell from the start that Garcia had the stronger punch but still thought Amir would win it in the end. He really needs to realise that you can't always just stand up and trade punches when you've been knocked down. Khan needed a round or two moving about and jabbing to work his way back into the fight, they all won't turn out for him like the Maidana fight did and I think he feels that he had to trade like that everytime now.

I would of probably stopped it when he was down for the first time at the end of the 3rd but funnily enough wouldn't have when the ref did in the 4th. I guess that would have just been delaying the inevitable though.
